Halo 3 Beta Initiated!

    Well, okay, I’m a little late, in fact more than a little late, very late, but the point is all those $60 have gone to a good use, getting into the Halo 3 Beta, and feeling the glory of it’s awesomeness. Alright, maybe I’m exaggerating a little but frankly, the game really is great. The controls work smoothly, has very few glitches for a beta, and there’s a load of other players online all of the time. However there is one massive problem. The graphics just aren’t what I expected them to be. Now I admit this is still in its fairly early stages, but even with that in mind the graphics aren’t as good comparatively as the first and second installments. It looks like maybe a a Halo 2.5 in HD. now let’s get back to the positive side of things, and trust me, there’s a ton of great new things in Halo 3. Some of my favourites include the new Mongoose, which is reminiscent of an ATV on steroids, the detachable machine gun turret, the missile pod, which is basically a mini rocket launcher which holds 8 rounds at once, the Spiker, which is a pistol sized dual-wieldable submachine gun, and the new drop able items such as the shield grenade, land mine, and portable grav-lift. The beta runs until June 6th, when you’ll have to wait another few months to play the game again.
